Installing the printer on a wireless network
(selected models only)
Wireless network compatibility
Your printer contains an IEEE 802.11g wireless print server. Your printer is compatible with IEEE 802.11 b/g/n routers
that are Wi-Fi certified. If you are having issues with an n router, verify with your router manufacturer that the current
mode setting is compatible with g devices, as this setting varies depending on the router brand/model.
Information you will need to set up the printer on a
wireless network
To set up the printer for wireless printing, you need to know:
• The name of your wireless network. This is also known as the Service Set Identifier (SSID).
• If encryption was used to secure your network.
• The security key (either a WEP key or WPA passphrase) that allows other devices to communicate on the network
if encryption was used to secure your network.
If your wireless access point (wireless router) is using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security, the WEP key should
be:
• Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
or
• Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols found on a
keyboard.
If your wireless access point (wireless router) is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security, the WPA passphrase
should be:
• From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
or
• Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A-F, a-f, and 0-9.
If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key. Using a wireless network with no
security is not recommended because it can allow intruders to use your network resources without your consent.
Note: Make sure you copy down the security key and SSID exactly, including any capital letters, and store it in a safe
place for future reference. Use the table provided below to write down this information.
Item
Description
SSID (name of your wireless network)
Security key (WEP key or WPA passphrase)
Note: If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, launch the wireless utility of
the computer network adapter and look for the network name. If you cannot find the SSID or the security information
for your network, see the documentation that came with the wireless access point (wireless router), or contact your
system support person.

Configuring an IP address manually
The printer will be assigned an IP address automatically through DHCP on most wireless networks.
During wireless setup, you will be asked to manually assign an IP address to the printer in the following situations:
• You manually assigned IP addresses for the other network devices.
• You want to assign a specific IP address.
• You moved the printer to a remote subnet.
For more information, contact your system support person.
Interpreting the colors of the Wi-Fi indicator light
The Wi-Fi indicator light helps you determine the network status of the printer.
The following describes what the colors of the Wi-Fi indicator light mean.
• Off may indicate that the printer is off, the printer is in the initial power-up state, the internal print server is not
installed, or the internal print server is not properly connected.
The light should be in this state:
– When the printer is turned off
– When the printer is in power saver mode
– When the printer does not have an internal print server installed and you want to connect the printer to the
computer using a USB cable
• Orange may indicate that the printer is being configured for use on the wireless network, the internal print server
is not configured in infrastructure mode, or the internal print server is waiting to be configured for ad hoc mode.
The light should be in this state:
– When you want to use the printer without a computer
– When you want to set up the printer on your wireless network
– When the printer is set up for an ad hoc network and is broadcasting its wireless network name (SSID)
Installing the printer on a wireless network (selected models only)

– The printer is out of the range of the wireless access point (wireless router).
– The printer is trying to communicate with the wireless access point (wireless router), but the wireless access
point (wireless router) may be turned off or not working properly.
– The printer is trying to establish communication with the wireless access point (wireless router).
This is true if you have already configured the printer for use on your wireless network. When the printer has
been configured, any time you turn the printer off and then turn it back on, the internal print server in the
printer will try to connect to your wireless access point (wireless router).
– The wireless settings of the printer may no longer be valid.
• Green indicates that the printer is connected to a wireless network.
The light should be in this state when you want to start using the printer that is already set up on your wireless
network.
• Blinking green indicates that the printer internal print server is being updated.

Creating an ad hoc wireless network
The recommended way to set up your wireless network is to use a wireless access point (wireless router). A network
set up this way is called an infrastructure network. If you have an infrastructure network in your home, you should
configure your printer for use on that network.
If you do not have a wireless access point or would like to set up a standalone network between your printer and a
computer with a wireless network adapter, then you can set up an ad hoc network.
In Windows Vista

on a keyboard.
Note: Security is optional for ad hoc networks. The range of an ad hoc network is much less than the
range of an infrastructure network, making it less likely that intruders will connect to it without your
knowledge.
d Write the password for your network in the space provided so you can refer to it when running the wireless
setup. Make sure you copy the exact spelling and capitalization.

Frequently asked questions
What is a network?
A network is a collection of devices such as computers, printers, Ethernet hubs, wireless access points, and routers
connected together for communication through cables or through a wireless connection. A network can be wired,
wireless, or designed to have both wired and wireless devices.
Devices on a wired network use cables to communicate with each other.
Devices on a wireless network use radio waves instead of cables to communicate with each other. For a device to be
able to communicate wirelessly, it must have a wireless print server attached or installed that lets it receive and
transmit radio waves.
How are home networks configured?
For desktop computers, laptops, and printers to communicate with each other over a network, they must be
connected by cables and/or have wireless network adapters built in or installed in them.

There are different ways a network can be set up. Five common examples appear below.
Note: The printers in the following diagrams represent printers with internal print servers built in to them so that
they can communicate over a network.
Wired network example
• A desktop computer, a laptop, and a printer are connected by Ethernet cables to a hub, router, or switch.
• The network is connected to the Internet through a DSL or a cable modem.

Wireless network examples
Four common wireless networks are:
•
•
•
•
Scenario 1: Laptop and printer connected wirelessly with Internet
Scenario 2: Desktop computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly with Internet
Scenario 3: Desktop computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly without Internet
Scenario 4: Laptop connected wirelessly to printer without Internet
Scenario 1: Laptop and printer connected wirelessly with Internet
• A desktop computer is connected to a wireless router by an Ethernet cable.
• A laptop and a printer are connected wirelessly to the router.

Scenario 3: Desktop computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly without
Internet
• A desktop computer, a laptop, and a printer are connected wirelessly to a wireless access point (wireless router).
• The network has no connection to the Internet.
Installing the printer on a wireless network (selected models only)
45
Scenario 4: Laptop connected wirelessly to printer without Internet
• A laptop is directly connected wirelessly to a printer without going through a wireless router.
• The network has no connection to the Internet.
• This configuration is referred to as an ad hoc network.
Why do I need an installation cable?
When setting up the printer on your wireless network, the printer will need to temporarily connect to a computer
using the installation cable. This temporary connection is used to set up the wireless settings of the printer.
The installation cable connects to a rectangular USB port on the installing computer and the square USB port on the
printer.
How do I attach the installation cable?
The installation cable attaches to a USB port on the computer and to the square connector on the back of the printer.
This connection allows you to configure the printer for a networked or locally attached installation.
1 Attach the large, rectangular connector to any USB port on your computer. USB ports may be on the front or the
back of the computer, and may be horizontal or vertical.

3 Continue following the on-screen instructions.
What is the difference between infrastructure and ad hoc
networks?
Wireless networks can operate in one of two modes: infrastructure or ad hoc.
In infrastructure mode, all devices on a wireless network communicate with each other through a wireless router.
Devices on the wireless network must have valid IP addresses for the current network and share the same SSID and
channel as the wireless router (wireless access point).
In ad hoc mode, a computer with a wireless network adapter communicates directly with a printer equipped with a
wireless print server. The computer must have a valid IP address for the current network and be set to ad hoc mode.
The wireless print server must be configured to use the same SSID and channel that the computer is using.
The following table compares the characteristics and requirements of the two types of wireless networks.

Finding the signal strength
Wireless devices have built-in antennas that transmit and receive radio signals. The signal strength listed on the
printer network setup page indicates how strongly a transmitted signal is being received. Many factors can affect
the signal strength. One factor is interference from other wireless devices or other devices such as microwave ovens.
Another factor is distance. The farther two wireless devices are from each other, the more likely it is that the
communication signal will be weaker.
The strength of the signal received by your computer can also affect the connectivity of the printer with the network
during configuration. When you installed the wireless adapter in your computer, the adapter software probably
placed an icon in your system tray. Try double-clicking this icon, and it will tell you how strongly the computer is
receiving the wireless signal from the network.
To improve signal quality, remove sources of interference and/or move wireless devices closer to the wireless access
point (wireless router).
How can I improve wireless signal strength?
A common reason wireless printers fail to communicate over a network is poor wireless signal quality. If the signal
is too weak, too distorted, or blocked by an object, it cannot carry information between the access point and the
printer. To determine if the printer is receiving a strong signal from the access point, print a network setup page. The
Quality field indicates the relative strength of the wireless signal the printer is receiving. Drops in signal strength can
be intermittent, however, and although the signal quality appears high, it may drop during certain conditions.
If you think signal strength is a problem between your access point and the printer, try one or more of the following:
Notes:
• For ad hoc networks, adjust the computer where the access point is indicated.
• Ad hoc networks have a much shorter range than infrastructure networks. Try moving the printer closer to the
computer if they seem to have trouble communicating.
MOVE THE PRINTER CLOSER TO THE WIRELESS ACCESS POINT/WIRELESS ROUTER
If the printer is too far away from the access point, it will not be able to communicate with other devices on the
network. For most indoor wireless networks, the maximum distance between the access point and the printer is
approximately 100 feet (30 meters). This distance could be longer or shorter, depending upon the layout of the
network and the limitations of the access point.

REMOVE OBSTACLES BETWEEN THE ACCESS POINT AND THE PRINTER
The wireless signal from your access point will pass through most objects. Most walls, floors, furniture and other
objects will not block the wireless signal. However, there are materials that are too dense for the signal to pass
through. Objects containing metal and concrete can block the signal, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Cubicle walls
Ducts
Window frames
Poles and interior support columns
Metal office furniture and cabinets
Elevators
Steel doors
Walls and other structural elements reinforced by rebar
Arrange your printer and access point so that the signal is not blocked by any of these objects.
REMOVE SOURCES OF INTERFERENCE
Other types of radio frequencies can cause problems with the wireless signal on your network. These sources of
interference can cause printing issues that seem to come and go. Some common sources of interference are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Cordless phones
Microwave ovens
Refrigerators and other appliances
Bluetooth devices
Other wireless networks
Motors
Turn off these potential sources of interference where possible. Avoid using microwaves and cordless phones
when printing over your wireless network.
If another wireless network is operating in the vicinity, change the wireless channel on the access point.
Do not place your access point on a printer. Printers can also interfere with the wireless signal.
ARRANGE THE NETWORK TO REDUCE SIGNAL ABSORPTION
Even when the wireless signal is able to pass through an object, it is slightly weakened. If it passes through too
many objects, it can be significantly weakened. All objects absorb part of the wireless signal when it passes through
them, but certain types of objects absorb enough to cause communications problems. To avoid signal absorption,
avoid placing the following items between your access point and your printer:
•
•
•
•
•
Stacks of paper or books
Multiple walls or floors
Crowds of people
Objects containing water, such as fish tanks
Plants
Place your access point as high in the room as possible to avoid signal absorption.

What is an SSID?
A Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name that identifies a wireless network. All devices on the network must know the
SSID of the wireless network or they will not be able to communicate with each other. Usually, the wireless network
broadcasts the SSID to allow wireless devices in the area to connect to it. Sometimes, the SSID is not broadcast for
security reasons.
An SSID can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
How do I find out what type of security my network is using?
You must know the security key and security mode to properly set up the printer for use on the wireless network. To
obtain this information, see the documentation that came with your wireless access point (wireless router), see the
Web page associated with the wireless access point (wireless router), or consult your system support person.
Note: The network security key is not the same as the password for the wireless access point (wireless router). The
password allows you to access the wireless access point (wireless router) settings. The security key is a WEP key or
WPA passphrase that allows printers and computers to join your wireless network.
Can I use my printer on a USB and a wireless connection at the same
time?
The printer can be configured in the following ways:
• Locally attached (connected to a computer using a USB cable)
• Wireless network
• Wireless network and locally attached simultaneously
If you want to use the printer as both a wireless and locally attached printer at the same time, you will need to run
the setup software again and select the additional connection type.
What is a MAC address?
A Media Access Control (MAC) address is a 48-bit identifier associated with the hardware of network equipment. The
MAC address may also be called the physical address because it is connected to the hardware of a device instead of
its software. The MAC address is displayed as a hexadecimal number in this format: 01-23-45-67-89-AB.
Every device capable of communicating on a network has a MAC address. Network printers, computers, and routers,
whether Ethernet or wireless, all have MAC addresses.
While it is possible to change the MAC address of a network device, it is not common practice to do so. For this reason,
MAC addresses are considered permanent. IP addresses are easily changed, so MAC addresses are a more reliable
method of identifying a specific device on a network.
Routers with security capabilities may allow filtering of MAC addresses on networks. This allows a managed list of
devices to access the network, identified by their MAC addresses. MAC address filtering can help prevent access on
the network from unwanted devices, such as from intruders on a wireless network. MAC address filtering can also
prevent legitimate access if you forget to add a new device to the router's list of allowed addresses. If your network
uses MAC address filtering, be sure to add the MAC address of the printer to the list of allowed devices.
Installing the printer on a wireless network (selected models only)
50
How do I find the MAC address?
Most network equipment has a unique hardware identification number to distinguish it from other devices on the
network. This is called the Media Access Control (MAC) address.
The MAC address is a series of letters and numbers located on the back of your printer.
UAA:
XX XX XX XX XX XX
XX
XX
XX
XX
XX
:
XX
UAA
Note: A list of MAC addresses can be set on an access point (router) so that only devices with matching MAC addresses
are allowed to operate on the network. This is called MAC filtering. If MAC filtering is enabled in your access point
(router) and you want to add a printer to your network, the MAC address of the printer must be included in the MAC
filter list.
What is an IP address?
An IP address is a unique number used by devices (such as a wireless printer, computer, or wireless access point) on
an IP network to locate and communicate with each other. Devices on an IP network can communicate with each
other only if they have unique and valid IP addresses. A unique IP address means no two devices on the same network
have the same IP address.
An IP address is a group of four numbers separated by periods. An example of an IP address is 192.168.100.110.
What is TCP/IP?
Networks are able to function because computers, printers, and other devices are able to send data to each other,
either through cables or by using wireless signals. This transfer of data is made possible by sets of data transmission
rules called protocols. A protocol can be thought of as a language, and like a language, it has rules allowing participants
to communicate with each other.
Different types of networks use different protocols, but Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the
most popular. TCP/IP is used to send data over the Internet as well as over most corporate and home networks.
Because computers do not understand words and instead rely upon numbers for communication, TCP/IP requires
that every device on a network using TCP/IP to communicate must have an IP address. IP addresses are essentially
unique computer names in a numeric format, used to transfer data around a network. IP addresses allow TCP/IP to
confirm requests for and receipt of data by various devices on the network.

How to locate a printer IP address
• You can locate the printer IP address by viewing the printer network setup page.
How are IP addresses assigned?
An IP address may be assigned automatically by the network using DHCP. Once the printer is set up on a computer,
the computer sends all print jobs across the network to the printer using this address.
If the IP address is not automatically assigned, you will be asked during wireless setup to manually enter an address
and other network information after selecting your printer from the available list.

52
What is a key index?
A wireless access point (wireless router) can be configured with as many as four WEP keys. Only one key is used on
the network at a time, however. The keys are numbered, and the number of a key is referred to as its key index. All
devices on the wireless network must be configured to use the same key index when multiple WEP keys are configured
on the wireless access point (wireless router).
The printer is designed to use the first key. Make sure you have configured all of the wireless devices on your network
to use the first WEP key where you have the option of selecting a key. Make sure the wireless access point (wireless
router) is also configured to use the first key. The first key will usually have an index of 0, though it may be 1 on some
devices.

Printing photos from a digital camera using DPOF
Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) is a feature available on some digital cameras. If your camera supports DPOF, then
you can specify which photos to print, how many of each, and the print settings while the memory card is still in the
camera. The printer recognizes these settings when you insert the memory card into the printer or connect the
camera to the printer.
Note: If you specify a photo size while the memory card is still in the camera, then make sure that the size of the
paper loaded in the printer is not smaller than the size you specify in the DPOF selection.

Wireless troubleshooting
Wireless troubleshooting checklist
Before beginning to troubleshoot the wireless printer, verify the following:
• The power supply is connected to the printer, and
is on.
• Your SSID is correct.
Print a network setup page to verify the SSID the printer is using.
If you are not sure if your SSID is correct, run the wireless setup again.
• Your WEP key or WPA passphrase is correct (if your network is secure).
Log into the wireless access point (wireless router) and check the security settings.
A security key is like a password. All devices on the same wireless network using WEP, WPA, or WPA2 share the
same security key.
If you are not sure if your security information is correct, run the wireless setup again.
• The wireless network is working properly.
Try accessing other computers on your wireless network.
If your network has Internet access, try connecting to the Internet over a wireless connection.
• The printer is within the range of the wireless network.
For most networks, the printer should be within 100 feet (30 meters) of the wireless access point (wireless router).
• The printer is located away from obstacles that could block the wireless signal.
Remove any large metal objects between the access point and the printer.
Make sure the printer and wireless access point are not separated by poles, walls, or support columns containing
metal or concrete.
• The printer is located away from other electronic devices that may interfere with the wireless signal.
Many devices can interfere with the wireless signal, including baby monitors, motors, cordless phones, security
system cameras, other wireless networks, and some Bluetooth devices.
• The Wi-Fi indicator light is lit.

Wi-Fi indicator light is still orange
When the Wi-Fi indicator light is orange, it may indicate that the printer is:
• Being configured for use on the wireless network
• Not configured in infrastructure mode
• Waiting to be configured for ad hoc mode
Troubleshooting
122
The printer may be unable to join the network because of interference, its distance from the wireless access point
(wireless router), or until its settings are changed.
These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:
CHECK NETWORK NAME
Make sure your network does not have the same name as another network near you. For example, if you and your
neighbor both use a manufacturer's default network name, your printer could be connecting to your neighbor's
network.
If you are not using a unique network name, consult the documentation for your wireless access point (wireless
router) to learn how to set a network name.
If you set a new network name, you must reset the printer and computer SSID to the same network name.
CHECK SECURITY KEYS
If you are using WEP security
A valid WEP key is:
• Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
or
• Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard.
If you are using WPA security
A valid WPA passphrase is:
• From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
or
• Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A-F, a-f, and 0-9.
If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key. Using a wireless network with
no security is not recommended because it can allow intruders to use your network resources without your consent.
MOVE YOUR PRINTER
Move the printer closer to the wireless access point (wireless router). Although the possible distance between
devices in 802.11b or 802.11g networks is 300 feet, the maximum range for optimal performance is generally
100-150 feet.
You can find the strength of the network signal on the printer network setup page.
CHECK MAC ADDRESS
If your network uses MAC address filtering, make sure that you include the MAC address of the printer in the MAC
address filter list. This will allow the printer to operate on the network. For more information, see “How do I find
the MAC address?” on page 51.
Troubleshooting
123
Wireless print server not installed
You may see a message during installation indicating that the printer does not have a wireless print server installed.
If you are sure the printer is capable of wireless printing, try the following:
CHECK POWER
Make sure the
light is on.
“Communication not available” message displays when printing
wirelessly
If you are using a laptop and have power saving settings enabled, you may see the Communication not
available message on your computer screen when you attempt to print wirelessly. This can occur if the laptop
hard drive has powered down.
If you see this message, wait a few seconds and then try to print again. The laptop and printer require a few seconds
to power up again and reattach to the wireless network.
If you see this message again after you have waited long enough for the printer and the laptop to attach to the
network, there may be a problem with your wireless network. Make sure that the laptop and printer have both
received IP addresses. For more information on locating IP addresses, refer to “How do I locate IP addresses?” on
page 52.
If the printer and/or the laptop does not have an IP address, or if either has an address of 169.254.x.y (where x and y
are any two numbers between 0 and 255):
1 Shut down the device that does not have a valid IP address (the laptop, the printer, or both).
2 Turn on the device(s).
3 Check the IP addresses again.
If the laptop and/or printer still does not receive a valid IP address, there is a problem with your wireless network.
Make sure your wireless access point (wireless router) is working, and remove any obstacles that could be blocking
the wireless signal.
Communication with printer lost when connected to Virtual Private
Network (VPN)
You will lose your connection to a wireless printer on your local network when connected to most Virtual Private
Networks (VPNs). Most VPNs allow users to communicate with only the VPN and no other network at the same time.
If you would like to have the ability to connect to your local network and to a VPN at the same time, the system
support person for the VPN must enable split tunneling. Be aware that some organizations will not allow split
tunneling due to security or technical concerns.

Off mode
If this product has an off mode which still consumes a small amount of power, then to completely stop product power
consumption, disconnect the power supply cord from the wall outlet.
Total energy usage
It is sometimes helpful to calculate the total product energy usage. Since power consumption claims are provided
in power units of Watts, the power consumption should be multiplied by the time the product spends in each mode
in order to calculate energy usage. The total product energy usage is the sum of each mode's energy usage.
